From the Post article about parking at Loudon high schools:

... Heritage High School in Leesburg, where the lot is so massive that sophomores with licenses can buy permits ...

In which case, as you said, it's likely a revenue play. Capacity wasn't mentioned in the other high schools, so I at least would assume it's not an issue.

Unless it's completely about revenue, I think the schools could do some things to make it a little more fair. For example, students who cannot take the bus, like those who have to be at school earlier or later than the buses would provide for, should get discounted passes, because they don't have other options.

Maybe students who carpool to school should get discounted or even free passes. Then again, we don't call it "carpooling" with teens, we call it teens driving their friends around, which is apparently dangerous and even illegal in some states, even if it cuts down on congestion, pollution, consumption, etc.
